1. Wow. Some of the pundits have been saying that Ivanka and her husband

are good influences on Trump. I've never seen evidence of that. Guess this proves they are just as stupid as President Pee Pee Pants.

2. There are so many things to investigate, the

FBI will need more agents. I suppose the Repubs will try to cut their budget next.

3. Good work

Deep thinker. Must run along all lines of the family. Lawyer, double lawyer up. Include your sister.

Criminal conviction

In the summer of 2004, Kushner was fined $508,900 by the Federal Election Commission for contributing to political campaigns in the names of his partnerships when he lacked authorization to do so. In 2005, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, U.S. Attorney Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with Kushner, under which he pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. The witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister. Kushner was sentenced to two years in prison and served 14 months at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery in Alabama before being sent to a halfway house in Newark, New Jersey to complete his sentence. He was released from prison on August 25, 2006.

As a result of his convictions, Kushner was disbarred from practicing law in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

6. NYT also says it was Kushner who pushed Trump to fire Comey:

He quickly summoned his top advisers, most of whom recommended that he adopt a conciliatory stance. But his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who had pushed Mr. Trump to fire Mr. Comey, urged the president to counterattack, according to two senior administration officials.

9. Kinda makes you feel sorry for the guy.

What kind of asshole tries to blame his son-in-law for some stupid screw up that will probably blow away with the apple blossoms in a couple of weeks anyway? I think firing Comey was justified but even if Jared pushed for it he shouldn't be blamed for it which is what Trump appears to be doing. Father-in-law from hell.

10. The whole fam damily is just there for the money...

I hope we can claw back some of the millions they have been making off of being in the government.

Makes the BFEE look like a Sunday kaffee klatch.
